ltar so didst thou yield thy body to death and thy sacrifice is accepted. As the dead wood of Aaron's rod cut off from the tree on which it had grown yet blossomed and bare fruit; cut off as thou art in thy prime thy memory shall blossom for ever. The three holy children trod unharmed the fiery furnace seven time heated. He who was with them was surely with thee; and the Angel of Death hath bidden thee come forth naught harmed by the fire save the bonds of flesh which thy free spirit hath left behind. To touch a dead body is counted pollution; to touch thine is rather consecration; for it is a holy thing which thou hast freely offered to God.

Awake and sing ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew the dew of herbs and the earth shall cast out the dead. 1The sound of that glorious promise of Scripture seemed to rouse Hadassah from her agonizing grief; she lifted up her bowed head calm and serene as before. Turning to the veiled woman near her she said We may not burn perfumes over these our honoured dead but you Zarah my child have brought living flowers for the burial and their fragrance shall rise as incense. Cast them into the grave ere we close it. Obedient to the command of her aged relative the maiden whom Hadassah had addressed glided forward to the brink of the grave and threw down into it a fragrant shower of blossoms.
